"Since this new administration took office, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities has increased at triple the normal rate of unemployment."

For National Disability Employment Awareness Month at @motherjones.com, I spoke to four disabled federal workers who were laid off about how their old jobs were very accessible—and what the federal government loses out on by having fewer disabled employees. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The human costs of Trump's war on government
For many disabled workers, federal jobs were decent, human, and accommodating: everything the president hates.

if the democratic party starts stepping away trans people they might as well sign this country away to the far right forever

Well, Newsom has a great opportunity to help homeless trans people right now by signing a bill that would help combat anti-LGBTQ discrimination in state homelessness programs that we reported on, AB 678!

And many other bills that help all trans people. Go yell at him!

Everyone was in agreement that they did not believe
in Hell anymore per se. Was it even mentioned in the
Bible after all? But also that they nevertheless wished
that it were in fact real. If only for the sake of these
goddamned bastards.
The voices of children can be
heard from under the rubble

For a limited time being of course. Nothing
eternal. Nothing drastic like that. We weren’t
monsters ourselves.
And I do too. I also wish that. I stood up and told
them that. Hat in hand. Even teared up a little bit. It
was a rousing speech someone said afterwards looking
me directly in the eye and shaking my hand like a
senator. Telling me there were people he wanted me
to come and meet out back.
But we have to be careful about what we collectively
dream into being I said. I am pretty sure that this is
how they invented it the first time around.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?

It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

Don’t bother having empathy for Charlie Kirk. He literally didn’t believe in the concept of empathy.

In his own words: “I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage."

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

As if you needed another reason to be angry at RFK Jr. today: There are signals he wants to blow up the "liability shield" that has kept the U.S. vaccine industry strong for the last forty years (and has sped payments to harmed patients). Hugely dangerous.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
